ACCME updated its Standards for Integrity and Independence in Accredited Continuing Education in December 2020. Accordingly, ACLP's disclosure reporting rules have changed to comply. In very basic terms, the primary changes you need to know are: You are now required to only disclosure financial relationships with "ineligible companies" (as defined by ACCME, below) and no other. If you must report, you must disclose all financial relationships of any amount; there is no minimum. You are no longer required to disclose reporting of any kind for your spouse/partner. The reporting period now covers the 24-month period prior to you completing your declaration. ACLP is required to "mitigate" speaker relationships with ineligible companies and share this with attendees. ACLP must also disclose no-conflict reporting to attendees; that is, attendees must be informed of and have access to information on the CoI status of ALL speakers, not just those that have declared interests. YOUR DISCLOSURE STATEMENT This is an information slide; delete it after you have finalized your disclosure statement As defined by ACCME: Advertising, marketing, or communication firms whose clients are ineligible companies Bio-medical startups that have begun a governmental regulatory approval process Compounding pharmacies that manufacture proprietary compounds Device manufacturers or distributors Diagnostic labs that sell proprietary products Growers, distributors, manufacturers or sellers of medical foods and dietary supplements Manufacturers of health-related wearable products Pharmaceutical companies or distributors Pharmacy benefit managers Reagent manufacturers or sellers If you have a financial relationship of any kind and of any amount in respect of any of the above, you must provide three data points: The name of the company in this relationship The nature of the company's business The nature of the financial relationship. Examples of financial relationships include employee, researcher, consultant, advisor, speaker, independent contractor (including contracted research), royalties or patent beneficiary, executive role, and ownership interest. Individual stocks and stock options should be disclosed; diversified mutual funds do not need to be disclosed. Research funding from ineligible companies should be disclosed by the principal or named investigator even if that individual's institution receives the research grant and manages the funds. You are not obliged to disclose the amount of compensation involved in your financial relationships. Example reporting: ABC Company, Inc; device manufacturer; patent beneficiary.
